Cristiano Ronaldo (37) wasn't shy in showing off his war wounds for photographers, the black eye received courtesy of Czech Republic goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik (33) during Portugal's win over the weekend.

Ronaldo has been pictured with notable bruises across his face while in training for Portugal ahead of Monday's Nations League match against Spain.

The forward sustained the injuries after a nasty mid-air collision with Czech Republic and Olympiacos goalkeeper Vaclik during his country's 4-0 win on Saturday.

Manchester United's star man required lengthy treatment but was determined to play the full 90 minutes, and he's still available for selection for Portugal's next game - as well as adding to his European men's record of 190 international caps.

While a comfortable result on the night for Portugal, CR7 didn't have the best of games in his glittering career, failing to score and also giving away a penalty - which was ultimately missed by Bayer Leverkusen striker Patrick Schick (26). 

Despite the visible shiner, Ronaldo is expected to play in Portugal's Group B decider against rivals Spain in Braga on Monday night.

Portugal must avoid defeat in their final group match against Spain to reach the Nations League semi-finals, with the Selecao themselves being the winners of the inaugural tournament back in 2019.
